Hi,
I've got debian etch running as a server (no GUI at all) and I'd like to
use my USB data stick to transfer files, but I cannot seem to find it
under /dev . Do I need to, or should I, install an auto-mount package,
i.e. would it make access easier? Are there more than one auto-mount
type of packages available? I found am-utils, which was one result of
1314 for "auto" when I searched the available packages.
Also, dmesg | grep usb gives me:
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub
usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb usb2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
usb-storage: device found at 2
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
usb-storage: device scan complete
but I don't know how to translate this into a /dev/.. device.?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Robert

Try to do a "dmesg | tail" after a few seconds when you plugged in the USB
Device. You should see something like:
sdc: Mode Sense: 0b 00 00 08
sdc: assuming drive cache: write through
SCSI device sdc: 2055290 512-byte hdwr sectors (1052 MB)
sdc: Write Protect is off
sdc: Mode Sense: 0b 00 00 08
sdc: assuming drive cache: write through
sdc: sdc1
sd 5:0:0:1: Attached scsi removable disk sdc
sd 5:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0
usb-storage: device scan complete
And there you can see what device it is. This should be betwwen the 2 last
lines in your post but as you grepped for "usb" you didn't see them.

Thanks for the tip/info. My dmesg shows:
SCSI subsystem initialized
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
USB Mass Storage support registered.
usb-storage: device found at 2
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning

sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
SCSI device sda: 8125440 512-byte hdwr sectors (4160 MB)

sda: Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: sda1
sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda
but unlike yours, it does not say - usb-storage: device scan complete
Now, what's the best way to get this mounted and usable? Should I
install am-utils for example? I've tried various ways of using the
mount command, but I'm not getting it right (mounted).
Thanks,
Robert
